New York Jets 20, Oakland Raiders 45: A Muff, Michael Crabtree Too Much To Overcome (Highlights)

All told, Crabtree caught six passes for 80 yards and three scores. Lynch ran for 45 yards and a score on 12 carries. Carr threw for 230 yards and three touchdowns on 23-of-28 passing.

Part of the problem for the Jets defensively was the complete no-show from a defensive line that features Leonard Williams and Muhammad Wilkerson. Meanwhile, second-year ILB Darron Lee continues to be lost in space on the field while overplaying in the run game.

Offensively, the Jets were led by Kearse through the air who hauled in two touchdowns on four receptions. Matt Forte led the team in the rushing game with 53 yards on nine carries. McCown finished with two touchdowns and 166 yards on 17-of-25 passing.

The only turnover of the game came courtesy of Raymond on the muffed punt.

This is the first time since 2007 that the Jets have started 0-2. That ’07 team led by Eric Mangini finished 4-12.

They’ll look to lick their wounds and bounce back in the home opener next Sunday afternoon against the Miami Dolphins.
